The shoemaker shouldn't go barefoot: from 27th to 2nd in Prague

If we are good at local SEO, we have to prove it on ourselves first - and on the toughest term in the field: lokální SEO Praha. In under half a year of systematic work we moved from 27th to 2nd across the whole of Prague and from zero to 94 % share of local visibility.

Progress

How the shift happened

Local visibility is not built overnight. The key is doing the right things consistently - and giving Google time to re-map the business.

Early March 2026

Starting point

We chose the keyword "lokální SEO Praha" and measured the starting point. We were practically invisible - 27th place and not in the TOP 3 in any measured point across Prague. Enquiries were picked up by competitors.

Systematic work

Website optimisation, a dedicated page and articles on the keyword, fixing and adding citations across the internet, and setting all the needed parameters on the Google Business Profile. Exactly what we do for clients - just on ourselves. Google gradually re-mapped us.
